Photoshoot makeup

Medellín y Antioquia

📸 Calibrated for the camera, not the mirror

Photoshoot makeup in Medellín

Makeup for camera follows different rules to everyday makeup. The camera flattens volume, so you need more definition than looks necessary to the naked eye; at the same time it picks up every bit of texture, so the skin has to be better prepared than ever. Makeup that looks perfect in the mirror can read completely flat in the photograph.

There are specific traps, too: powders containing silica bounce the flash back and show up as white patches on the forehead and chin, and high-SPF products do exactly the same. You do not see any of it until you review the shots, and by then it is too late.

What the service includes

Intensive skin prep, which is what shows most on camera
Products free of silica and SPF, to avoid flashback
Makeup adapted to studio lighting, daylight or mixed artificial light
Up to two look changes in the same session, if the concept calls for it
I stay on set to retouch between shots
A conversation with your photographer beforehand about concept and lighting

How it works

1

We talk about the concept

What kind of shoot it is, where, under what lighting and what the images are for. A moodboard helps.

2

I coordinate with the photographer

A short conversation with whoever is shooting avoids surprises: the lighting they plan to use changes makeup decisions.

3

During the shoot

I stay to retouch between shots and handle look changes. On long shoots that is what keeps the images consistent.

Questions about
photoshoot makeup in medellín

It is quoted by full or half day, depending on the length of the shoot and how many look changes it involves. Message me with the details.
Yes, if the booking includes it, and I recommend it. Touch-ups between shots are the difference between a consistent set of images and one where you can see the makeup gradually breaking down.
Yes, regularly, with photographers across Medellín and the Aburrá Valley. If you already have one, I speak to them beforehand; if not, I can point you in the right direction.
Yes, and it is increasingly common. Video needs a slightly different finish to stills, because the skin is seen in motion and under continuous lighting.
Come with clean skin and no makeup, well moisturised from the night before. If you have garments in several colours for look changes, bring them so we can coordinate tones.
